Question

C + 9 - 3( c - 10) > 1Solve the inequalityPlease show steps

Answer 1

c + 9 - 3(c - 10) > 1

We're going to treat this like a regular algebraic equation, thus most algebraic rules and properties apply.

First, apply distributive property.

c + 9 - 3c + 30 > 1 (two - signs cancel out, creating a + sign.)

Combine like terms.

-2c + 39 > 1

Subtract 39 from both sides.

-2c > -38

Divide both sides by -2.

c < 19 (Because we're dividing by a negative number, the sign gets swapped.)

Your answer is c < 19.
